Not really an option on a saw unless you want to spend more on the cylinder than the saw is worth. The cylinders are plated if you bore it you'll have to get it re- plated.

Hahaha NO!
By the time you bore out the cylinder, and have it re coated, you could buy a couple of new 660, considering you can find a piston that will fit. If you want more power, send it out to someone that knows what they're doing.

Just an after thought.
before you go drilling holes in your muffler make sure you take it off the saw.
wouldn't want any metal getting into the cylinder.
Well like I said you can have it ported. Is selling it and looking for a bigger saw an option?

not an option i can do work my self but just need to know how
It's not quite that easy. A few little things can make a saw run great, a few wrong things and you need a new Piston and cylinder, or worse.
Stick around for a few months, do some searching, blsnelling has some nice porting threads among others, than we can help you with the fine details.

i have done 6 1950 ford flatheads and made 250 horse like nuthin im sure i can do the porting on a saw im just wonderin how everyone else has done it too this one ive never worked on 2 strokes

how about a small nitrous tanks can that be run on a 2 stroke maybe 2-3 horse
That's the problem 2 stroke engines are quite a bit different than 4 stroke automotive engines. For starters modern 2 cycle chainsaw engines don't have valves, the piston acts as both the intake and exhaust valve, then you have the internal transfers.
Like I said stick around a few weeks, and do some reading.

Head to a real saw shop and pick up a loop of Oregon LGX or Stihl RSC and don't let 'em send you out with some homeowner safety chain garbage like the Husky chain you are currently fighting.
Lemme guess, the husky chain you are using has those bent over rakers?
Yes. A good chain makes that much difference.
Your 576 should have waaay more than enough attitude for what you are doing, and no need to lean on it.
Stick around.
Stay safe!

Assuming "laterals" mean along the log, across the grain, that is very taxing on a chainsaw, and a slow prosess.
If so, you simply use a too small saw, and you need ripping chain (10% top-plate angle).
The stock one that came on the saw. I know Oregon makes it, but it's not the same profile as the LGX.

no offense to the op but it would help if he slowed down and wrote a few sentences out...everyone is taking time and effort to guess what his problems and needs are
